What about using a hex representation?

Eval ptrField = x'00'

I think the problem is that he's trying to change it on the fly in
debug...

*ZERO, *NULL, *OMIT are understood by the compiler but not the debugger.

You can simply set it to 0 (which is equivalent to null)

I know I'm going to regret skipping some prior messages on this topic,

but

I'm curious: why wouldn't

Eval ptrField = *Null

Work? That's what I do. Sometimes I'll use Clear or Reset, but usually
Eval.
